Questions on firmware downloads (Philippines)
Within the past couple months we bought the following from official TP-Link stores online:
- VPN router ER605 (UN) Ver 1.0 (1 unit)
- Ceiling mounted EAP225 (US) Ver 3.0 (2 units)
- Easy Smart Switch TL-SG105E (UN) Ver 5.0 (1 unit)
The UN and US parts are from the box stickers. All devices are used as standalone.
Questions:
- Could I use the firmware downloads from the global website, i.e., the one from tp-link.com/en/... and NOT tp-link.com/ph/...?
- Why are the downloads for EAP225 for EU and not US (both global and Philippine pages)? Are they good to use anyway?
I read on a Reddit thread that the global site should be fine but there's a note: "Please upgrade firmware from the local TP-Link official website of the purchase location for your TP-Link device, otherwise it will be against the warranty. Please click here to change site if necessary."
Other details:
- There's no ER605 on the Philippine Download Center page.
- For EAP225: The Philippine page is behind the global page by 5 (!) firmware releases.

- For TL-SG105E: The Philippine page is behind the global page by 1 firmware release.
